3 Description
3.1 Technical overview
Table 3.1: Device types
The ROD4…plus is an optical, two-dimensional measuring distance sensor. It could also be
referred to as an optical, area radar unit. The device periodically transmits light pulses within
an scanning angle of 190° via a rotating deflector unit.
If the pulses are incident upon objects or obstacles, the light is reflected and then received
and analysed by the ROD4…plus. From the propagation time of the radiated light and the
current angle of the deflector unit, the ROD4…plus unit calculates the exact coordinates of
the object.
These data can be used by the ROD4…plus for 2 different areas of application:
1. Object measurement
An angular resolution of 0.36° allows the distance to objects to be measured with an
accuracy of 5mm within the measurement range drawn in figure 3.1.
2. Object detection (only ROD4 plus and ROD4-08 plus)
Detection field contours can be defined within the detection fields drawn in figure 3.1.
If an object is located within these detection field contours, this is reported by the
ROD4…plus to the configurable switching outputs.
For object measurement tasks, the device is configured using the RODplussoft software.

Description
Leuze electronic ROD4… plus 9
TNT 35/7-24V
If the ROD4…plus is to be used for object detection, device configuration is performed with
RODsoft.
Figure 3.1: Detection fields
The ROD4 plus and ROD4-08 plus can be used both on vehicles (mobile object detection
for vehicles) as well as in stationary applications on systems and machines (object detec-
tion/measurement).
The long-range and contactless measurement principle makes the ROD4…plus unit a
universally applicable measuring system.
3.1.1 Object measurement
In measurement operation, the ROD4…plus transfers all measured distance data to a
primary control or to a PC. An object contour can be calculated from the measurement data.
The RODplussoft software can be used to configure the Ethernet interface (Y2) and the
serial interface (Y4) for outputting the measurement data. Furthermore, the type of protocol
used for measurement data transfer can be set.
In addition, preprocessing of the measurement data can be performed in the ROD4…plus:
• The data quantity can be reduced in order to match the quantity to the possible trans-
mission speed
• The measurement data can be filtered on the basis of user-defined specifications
For further information on measurement data preparation, please refer to the RODplussoft
manual.
3.1.2 Object detection (only ROD4 plus and ROD4-08 plus)
For object detection, detection fields are defined with the RODsoft software.
If an object or obstacle is located within these detection fields, a stop function is executed.
The ROD4 plus and ROD4-08 plus can detect objects with diameters greater than 20mm at
a distance of up to 4.0m, even if the surface of the given object is dark. Larger objects are
detected in the far detection field at a distance of up to 50m.
Measurement range ROD4-08 plus, ROD4-58 plus: max. 25m
Meas. range ROD4 plus, ROD4-50 plus, ROD4-56 plus: max. 65m
Radius of near detection field: max. 30m
Radius of far detection field: max. 50m

Description

3.2 Operating principle
The working range of the ROD4…plus (190°) is divided into 0.36° angular segments (cor-
responds to 529 measurement values).
Figure 3.2: Working range and angular resolution
Bundled light pulses are generated by a laser diode with coupled transmission optics. These
light pulses are reflected by a rotating mirror in such a way that a light pulse is emitted every
40ms in all angular segments (scanning rate: 25scans/s or
50scans/s). If the light pulse is incident upon an object, it is reflected and subsequently
detected and analysed by the ROD4…plus.
Figure 3.3: Operating principle
The ROD4…plus works on the principle of pulse propagation time measurement. The light
pulse propagation time is a direct measurement of the distance to the object.
The measurement values are transferred via interfaces Y2 and Y4 as 16bit data (2 bytes).
One scan over the working range returns 529 measurement values (from angle -5.04° to
angle +185.04° with 0.36° angular resolution). Thus, each individual measurement value
corresponds to an angular segment of 0.36°. The measurement values are sequentially
numbered from segment 0 (-5.04°) to segment 528 (+185.04°), see figure 3.2.

TNT 35/7-24V
Reference measurement
A reference measurement cyclically controls the measurement function. The following func-
tions are checked on each rotation of the mirror by means of a test object located inside of
the device:
• optical systems (e.g. transmitter and receiver)
• hardware, software, etc.
Window monitoring
A total of six light axes monitor the degree of soiling of the window. During this procedure,
the results are compared with two reference sensors. Moreover, these reference sensors
are used for temperature compensation and ageing monitoring.
3.2.1 Measurement function
You can configure the measurement functions of the ROD4…plus yourself with the supplied
RODplussoft software.
You can define the measurement mode (continuous/individual measurement), define
measurement segments (start/stop angle, angular resolution), as well as define the type of
measurement data transfer (in polar or cartesian coordinates) and pre-process and filter the
measurement results in the ROD4…plus.
3.2.2 Switching function (only ROD4 plus and ROD4-08 plus)
You can configure the switching functions of the ROD4 plus and ROD4-08 plus yourself with
the supplied RODsoft software. In addition to the device configuration, the software can also
be used to define detection field pairs, to adapt them to the given application and to save the
same in the ROD4 plus or ROD4-08 plus.
Four reversible detection field pairs make possible an optimal adaptation to the applications.
A detection field pair is considered to be the combination of both a near and far detection
field. The near and far detection fields are represented by different colours in the RODsoft
configuration software: near = red, far = green.
The image of the surroundings generated during the scan process is compared with the
specified detection field contours. If an object violates a detection field for a least one scan
(40ms), a corresponding, user-specific reaction is triggered.

Mounting
Leuze electronic ROD4… plus 17
TNT 35/7-24V
4 Mounting
Mount the ROD4…plus so that the area being monitored is within the measurement range
of the device.
Attention!
Because of the optical scanning principle, only objects with good reflective properties are
detected directly in front of the sensor window.
Physical damage to the sensor (e.g. due to collision or climbing on) should be prevented by
using a protective enclosure. If using an enclosure, the entire front cover of the device must,
however, remain unobstructed.
In order for the ROD4…plus to function optimally, it must be mounted in a favourable posi-
tion. You should make every effort to observe the following points:
• Position the ROD4…plus such that it has maximum protection.
• The mounting location and the electrical supply should be located as close as possi-
ble to one another.
• The ROD4…plus is to be mounted so that the area being monitored is within the
measurement range of the device.
• The mounting position of the ROD4… plus must offer protection from humidity, soil-
ing, as well as temperatures below 0°C (ROD4 plus, ROD4-50 plus) or -20°C (ROD4-
08 plus, ROD4-56 plus, ROD4-58 plus) and above 50°C.
• The mounting location is to be selected such that the possibilities for mechanical
damage are minimised. Exposed locations are to be equipped with additional protec-
tive guards or loop guards.
• Reinforcements, enclosures, mounting alcoves and other machine elements must not
result in an obstruction in the field of vision.
• Retro-reflectors or very reflective surfaces, such as certain metals or ceramics, are to
be avoided near the detection fields and at the height of the scanning plane as these
may result in measurement errors.
• To ensure a constant detection height at every point in the measurement range, the
ROD4…plus, and thus the beam plane, is to be mounted parallel to the reference
plane.
• If the ROD4…plus is used without start disable or start test with automatic start/
restart, a start warning (optical/acoustic) is to be provided.
• The ROD4…plus must not be used as a climbing aid. If there is a risk of this, a suit-
able, inclined (45°) protector is to be mounted.
The device dimensions and the reference of the scanning plane to the device edges can be
found in the dimensioned drawing (see figure 9.3 on page 47). Here, the zero point for the
distance measurement is the axis of rotation of the rotating mirror (ain figure 9.3). Mounting
system BT ROD4…plus, see chapter 8.2.6.
Notice!
Under certain circumstances, a larger measurement inaccuracy may occur with strongly re-
flective backgrounds (e.g. retro-reflectors).

Electrical connection

5 Electrical connection
5.1 Connecting the rotoScan ROD4…plus
To configure the ROD4…plus, connect the control cable (KB-014-5000-14, plug Y1) to the
power supply and the interface cable (KB-ROD4 plus-…, socket Y3) to the PC or laptop.
Furthermore, interface Y2 for transferring the process data should be connected to the PC
or the same network as the PC.
Notice!
To configure the measurement function with RODplussoft, Y2 or Y4 may be connected
instead of Y3. For the initial configuration of the interfaces, it is, however, recommended that
Y3 be connected.
To transfer the process data with RODplussoft, Y2 or Y4 may be selected. Following the
initial configuration, subsequent configuration can be performed in parallel with process data
transfer via a single interface (Y2 or Y4).
To configure the detection function with RODsoft, it is absolutely necessary to connect Y3.
Before commissioning the system, please check the pin assignments, the wiring, the supply
voltage and the safeguarding. In spite of the robust housing and fittings of the ROD4…plus,
which include various internal safety mechanisms, damages resulting from misconnection
cannot be excluded.
Figure 5.1: Connecting the rotoScan ROD4…plus
Attention!
Should you not need one of the interfaces, close the respective connector with a blank plug.
If a connector remains open, the ROD4…plus no longer has degree of protection IP 65.
